Toyota Winglet

New device, a "Segway lite".
It's not planned for the commercial market in the near future, though.

Pity is, many countries, like here in the UK, do not allow such a device on the sidewalks, and I'm not about to ride on about amongst the cars.



Promotional video.
I wonder who made toyota-winglet.com, it does not look like an amateur site, but not like a big-corporate site either.

You probably could hide the smaller one under a Hakama (Aikido "skirt"), and appear to be gliding your way everywhere, like some sort of Ultimate Zen Master. Would be way cool.

Haha, excellent. You'd just need a ring in the hem so it doesn't get tangled in the wheels.

Why'd you laugh? That wasn't funny. Kill yourself, bert, and end the pain.

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't adhere to Troll customs. You should honor it, though.

This is fun! :-D

Why the denial? You obviously hate yourself. I've read a number of your posts here and each one drips with venom. You're full of hate and bile.

On the contrary, I'm enjoying myself a lot! And, at this very moment, it's thanks to you. Isn't it ironic? Oh, I forget. No big & complicated words, and no abstract concepts. Right.

"I've read a number of your posts"

That's very kind of you.

"each one drips with venom"

Really? Must really hurt that sponge you call a brain, huh? Poor little thing...
